1Password is a password manager developed by AgileBits Inc. It provides a place for users to store various passwords, software licenses, and other sensitive information in a virtual vault that is locked with a PBKDF2-guarded master password.[9][10] By default, this encrypted vault is stored on the company's servers for a monthly fee.[11]

Password file syncing[edit]

1Password can be configured so that files are synchronized through Dropbox (all platforms), local Wi-Fi, and iCloud, and through 1Password.com, a paid subscription-based server sync service maintained by the developers. Local Wi-Fi and iCloud sync are only available on iOS and macOS.[12][13][14]

In 2017, the Travel Mode feature was introduced for subscribers of 1Password.com, which enables omission of password entries not tagged as safe for travel from the local storage on a particular device, reducing the impact of being obliged by officials to unlock access at country border crossings.[15]

Browser extensions[edit]

1Password integrates with desktop web browsers including Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera.[16] The extension can remember logins for websites, fill in website logins automatically, and generate random passwords for new websites.[17]

To use browser extensions, the user must have administrative rights on the computer where the browser is installed. This has been an issue with users on a PC assigned by a workplace without admin rights. To address this issue, 1Password offers plans for a monthly subscription fee aimed at businesses that allows web access to their usernames and passwords which can be copied and pasted into login screens.[18] Plans for family and individual use are also available.[19]

1Password also offers a standalone extension called 1Password X, available for Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.[20] 1Password X is designed to work without a companion desktop app, but a 1Password.com subscription is required.[21]

On the mobile side, 1Password offers integration with browsers and apps on iOS and Android devices using various methods. More convenient methods of filling and saving login information are provided in iOS 12[22] and Android Oreo (and later),[23] respectively.

History[edit]

In a 2017 Consumer Reports article, Dan Guido, the CEO of Trail of Bits, listed 1Password as a popular password manager (alongside Dashlane, KeePass, and LastPass), with the choice among them mostly up to personal preferences.[11]

Before 1Password 7, and the move to a purely subscription-based service in 2018, 1Password could be set up to only store password files locally, and not sync with remote servers, after purchasing a software license ($64.99 in 2018[24]).[11] As of Dec 2019, Mac users can still buy a perpetual licence of 1Password 7 from within the app.[25] Apple's browser Safari v13 makes the installation of the 1Password extension v6 impossible, thus forcing users to upgrade to 1Password v7.[26]

On November 14, 2019, 1Password announced a partnership with venture capital firm Accel, which invested $200 million in a Series A funding round and obtained a minority stake in the company.[27] It was the first outside funding in 1Password's history, and the largest single investment Accel had made to date.[28][29]

Use the 1Password password generator to make sure that your Master Password is unique, random, and memorable.

Tip

You can change your Master Password if you already have one that you want to improve.

Your Master Password protects everything you store in 1Password, so it’s important to choose a good one. Your Master Password should be unique, random, and memorable, and using the 1Password password generator will guarantee that it is.

Your Master Password should be unique

1password Manager Download

The most common way attackers gain access to personal information is by obtaining a password you use for one account – often one that isn’t protected as well – and trying to use it for your other accounts. That’s why all your passwords should be unique, and this is especially true for your Master Password.

Use a Master Password that’s never been used anywhere else.

Your Master Password should be random

The tools that attackers use to guess passwords are designed to account for all the tricks we use when we come up with passwords ourselves. When our passwords are analyzed by computers, they aren’t as random as we’d like to think they are. Let your computer suggest a password that’s stronger than the attackers’ tools.

Use a Master Password that was suggested by a password generator.

Your Master Password should be memorable

A unique and random password will thwart attackers, but it’s important that you don’t thwart yourself. For your privacy and security, no one at 1Password can access your Master Password or recover your account. That’s why your Master Password should be one you won’t ever forget.

Use a Master Password that you can remember:

  • Use spaces or hyphens between words to make your Master Password easier to type.
  • Practice your new Master Password regularly.
  • Write down your Master Password until you’ve committed it to memory.
  • Write your Master Password in your Emergency Kit and keep it somewhere safe.

Your Master Password doesn’t have to meet any specific requirements for numbers, symbols, or capital letters. If you’re not comfortable using them, don’t.

Use the 1Password password generator

The best Master Password is one you don’t choose yourself. Use the 1Password password generator to create a unique, random, and memorable Master Password.
